peteyjr Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes its the JPM Coachworks mod done in black Alcantara and beefed up (made thicker). After coveting those Damned ones I finally made the plunge and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 yeah.. I mean say you have one of those sinus clearing sneezes where you put up your hand so as not to blow snot everywhere and while you think you wipe all the snot off your hand you missed some and get it on the steering wheel. then what? 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteyjr Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I had a spare wheel (JDM STI) that I had on my ex WRX so I shipped the original LGT wheel (it had that horrible split design on the bottom that bothered me). It was pricey but I had some $ after a birthday in July. Took 4 full weeks from the time I shipped it to JPM untill i got it back. They are a first rate company and am happy to have put the $ in the local economy. The work is first rate. I did take a bit to get used to having fuzz (Alcantara) rather than hard leather. Total price was like $ 475. Truly its worth it in my eyes (and hands) . Really improves the tactile feel of driving. Many would argue it doesn't make you go faster but it makes the driving experience more pleasurable (am I allowed to say that?) . Those in MSpranks group buy for Damned wheels will understand what i mean when they get theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
